Paleoindian Ocher Mine Found In Underwater Cave In Mexico We have recently read with much interest the article entitled "paleoindian ochre mines in the submerged caves of the yucatán peninsula, quintana roo, mexico" (macdonald et al. 2020). we congratulate our colleagues on such a remarkable discovery, which is a main contribution to our understanding of early mining in the americas. The researchers suggest mining evidence in three submerged cave systems spans about 2,000 years of operation – from 12,000 to 10,000 years ago. the sites, called la mina, camilo mina, and monkey dust, may be the oldest known examples of ochre mining in the americas, but the team thinks cave exploration and ochre mining in the region may date.

The discovery of the first subterranean ochre mine of paleoindian age found in the americas is announced, offering compelling evidence for mining in three cave systems on the eastern yucatán over a ~2000 year period between ~12 and 10 ka. cave divers discover la mina, a pristine paleoindian age subterranean ochre mine, deep in the now submerged caves of quintana roo. investigations in the now. Researchers diving into dark submerged caves on mexico's yucatan peninsula have found evidence of an ambitious mining operation starting 12,000 years ago and lasting two millennia for red ochre, an earth mineral pigment prized by prehistoric peoples. the caves were not underwater at the time of the mining. the mining was undertaken as human populations first spread through the region.
